PMG: Here, There, and Everywhere

Posted on 21. May, 2013 by

I hear this from time to time: “When we need PR in Vermont, we are definitely calling you!” While that’s great, and I LOVE doing local public relations campaigns in our home state of Vermont or Massachusetts, I think that I need to clarify that PMG Public Relations works with clients worldwide. Sure, there are times that [...]

A Pause for PR: Advice for Publicists After Tragedy

Posted on 16. Apr, 2013 by

Sometimes the news cycle dictates how publicists go about their business, pausing media outreach on behalf of clients and rethinking social media editorial calendars that have long been in the works. Sadly, this was the case yesterday as the nation learned of the bombings at the Boston Marathon. This happened two other times within the past [...]

My night of being [sorta] homeless.

Posted on 29. Mar, 2013 by

I did something WAY out of my comfort zone last night: I slept outside on a portion of a cardboard box, dressed in my ski gear and a light weight sleeping bag.

Pomegranates and PR

Posted on 02. Jan, 2013 by

Have you ever opened a pomegranate? All of those beautiful, jeweled seeds, with great flavor just waiting for you. Until, that is, you realize that you have to work to free them. It’s not hard if you know how – but for some, it may be more trouble than it’s worth. Somedays, working in public [...]

Real Time Social Customer Service

Posted on 07. Nov, 2012 by

Let’s face it, customer service can be a challenging job when you are face-to-face with a customer, or on the phone. Toss in some social channels, and now, there is a lot to keep track of and handle. We have long been a fan of Comcast’s social media team, led by @ComcastBill, and JetBlue‘s social [...]

Twitter and The Politician

Posted on 18. Sep, 2012 by

I didn’t think much of it. That is, until my phone started blowing up with text messages from friends who were watching the local news. Earlier in the day I was interviewed by WCAX‘s political reporter Susie Steimie regarding Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin’s Twitter account.

I was having a conversation a few months back with my friend Mike McDougall about pitching new business. We are both entrepreneurs building service based businesses – in the field of public relations. While our skill sets and the types of clients we peruse are different, our styles are not. In recent months, we have [...]
